Didnt see any links to lowering springs, will the older RL kits work, or should we use the current UA TL kits?

HNIC: we are in the same town playa...w00t

i'm about to buy a pearl white 99 and want to lower it on my RH wheels..

TIA!

You didn't see any links to lowering springs because there are none. The closest your going to get to lowering the RL is via TSX TEIN basic coilovers (which will make the ride bouncy as hell) or some JIC-FLTA2 coilovers which will run you about 2 stacks.

Ksport coilovers will also bounce you around and accord springs and kits will do the same.

The guys at K-sport may be able to give you custom spring rates that will work with the RL. I wouldn't hurt to ask.

If you want coils you could import from Japan.
I know Insurance has springs as well as coils. Springs: Yahoo!¥ª¡¼¥¯¥·¥ç¥ó - ¡Ú¨·è Á÷ÎÁÂå°úÎÁ̵ÎÁ¡ÛINSURANCE SP¥Ð¥Í KA9 ¥ì¥¸¥§¥ó¥É
Algernon makes coils: Yahoo!¥ª¡¼¥¯¥·¥ç¥ó

There are at least 10 brands selling springs on yahoo auction.

I've emailed quite a few companies.... waiting for replies. Tein replied to me.. here it is.

Weird, when I google those part nummers I get a list on the Tein Japan website where it says KA7.

Go big and get quality coilovers. I'm running on Anceltion coilovers for the KA9. Straight from Japan and worth every penny. I'll post up some details in a new thread

tempting...and anceltion are very nice pieces, but if im going to drop 2 large plus, it would be for air runner, just for that extra lil novelty

the s-techs will most likely slam it more than i want....if they had a number for the H-tech springs that would be dope...i'll most likely try the legend springs first, and see where it goes from there

thanks guys for the hard work and responses!:thumbsup:

cool groundwork...but if the ksports for the legends react the way they do for civics and integras, i'll be sneding them back within a year for warranty replacements for being blown... have yours been good in the long term?

I and other members just placed an order of G2 Legend Ksport coilover via Group buys. We haven't received the kit yet. You'd better get some information from the other guys testimonies organized in my thread. I did search and read a lot about the Ksport coilover and finally, I decided to go with Ksport. The spring rate for G2 Legend Ksport is 13/7 front/rear which is good for RL too. The kit will not react the way that for Civics or Integras as of my knowledge. The Ksport coilover is ultimate performance wise but still comfortable in ride. You can still buy a kit at GB price if you want. You can also adjust spring rate +/-2 for your taste when you order it. I will write my testimony when I install it and have a test drive.

cool beans....i ask only because i blew up a set on an integra....the early ksports had tube issues, but apparently d2/ksport redid them to make up for the previous bad testimonials...i bought my KA9 to cruise...so eibachs from the g2 will work for me, i still have the integra to beat on

keep me posted though

 

[bigjussin]

will just the TSX springs fit? im having a helluva time finding g2 springs... :-(

 

[AME_VIP]

Apparently the TSX springs will not fit on stock RL shocks. Adjustable coilovers are well worth the money so you can adjust the height and dampening. There are RSR and other brands of springs for the KA9 in Japan if you are really set on springs.

TSX Ksport/Megan coilovers if you are on a tight budget. Algernon, Insurance Group, JIC VIP or Buddy Club for something quality and bolt on for the KA9.

 

[bigjussin]

found a few foreign sites selling insurance group stuff...but noone will ship to the us...and i have my friends shop checking on the tein part numbers that onebad gave above

 

[bigjussin]

addendum

SO, has anyone run the eibach springs for the G2 legends on their RL yet?

if so, is the ride bouncy or sluggish?

thanks

No worries. Justin is the owner/operator and I don't believe he has a store front. He is trust worthy I have bought a few things from him now including my coilovers from Yahoo Japan.
